People would point and laugh if someone fitted officer mods to a frig for a disposable roam, yet often the same people are against being able to clone swap into something more appropriate for that kind of action :s
Not bothered by the risk or isk side myself but its not in my nature to treat things as disposable in that way not to mention can completely tip the balance in the isk war of a fight while in many cases bringing nothing to the fight (which again is likely to get people pointing and laughing and the ire of your CEO).
Given the assumption that someone plugged an expensive implant set in to actually use when the appropriate time came i.e. when in a capital in pvp you can hardly call them risk averse or do we call everyone risk averse if they don't do headlong stupid things? |

To take this a step further, you shouldn't be allowed to jump between different Wspace systems or even different POSes in the same system. This only allows you to swap heads at the particular POS that the modual is at.
It doesn't really need to be complicated at all as I see it for most uses this would cover it:
+If your 24 hour clone jump timer isn't in effect
+Pause training
+Right click on POS control tower, select swap clone
+Implants stored on POS are swapped with your current ones, 24 hour cooldown timer starts as per normal clone jump
+Resume training
+24 hours later if you want, repeat to get back to the original implant set
If its the first time doing it you basically store current implants and end up in a blank clone - so plug in the extra implants you brought with you if applicable.
+If the POS is RF'd all stored implants are locked.
+If the POS is popped all currently stored implants show as per container items on the killmail
No jumping between systems or POSes permitted.
Technical issues aside uncomplicated and relatively simple. |

The mechanic here is 'Ooo - I have an espensive head full of PvE implants and there's fight on so I'll just swap out to a cheap PvP clone. What a cop out. W space is the unknown where anything should be able to happen. Turning it into a more easily(cheaper) living space is not the way W space should be heading.
While a valid point and also not something I'm a fan of that is only looking at a relatively narrow aspect of its use, if the majority of action was w-space on w-space I'd be completely in agreement with you, Jack and others. These days the bigger percentage of PVP involves roaming further afield, usually in ishtars :( or t1 cruisers and other cheap disposable setups generally into null, etc. which makes no sense to take expensive anything with it implants or otherwise. |
